Last night, after nine long seasons, How I Met Your Mother came to an end.

In the series finale, we learned not only how Ted Mosby met his future wife, but also what happens when you mess with HIMYM’s passionate fanbase!

As demonstrated by the Internet’s reaction, most fans found the much-anticipated series finale to be a major disappointment (salutes).

While a few dissenting fans were happy with the ending of How I Met Your Mother, most viewers considered it a slap to the face. And let’s just say—we don’t think the Slap Bet Commissioner would approve!

If you’re still having trouble getting over the finale, we suggest you follow Barney Stinson’s guidelines for when he’s sad (“When I’m sad, I stop being sad and instead be awesome instead!”).

But if that doesn’t work—check out the Internet’s best reactions to the series finale last night!

WARNING – Spoilers ahead!

The Realist

Okay, so this wasn’t really the story of how Ted met their mother, Tracy, but rather the story of how he met and fell in love with their Aunt Robin. The kids know it. You know it. We know it. But do the writers know it?

The Sympathetic One

While most fans are feeling sorry for themselves—mourning the loss of their favorite show, complaining about the blatant bait-and-switch that occurred—they seem to have forgotten about Ted’s loss. Good to see some fans are understanding.

The Playbook Player

How I Met Your Mother is known for keeping jokes going for a long time. How do we know this wasn’t strategically planned almost a decade away so they can get away with the most epic April Fools Day prank of all time?

Think about it—it’s something RIGHT out of Barney’s Playbook!

The Insult to Injury

We can’t imagine what kind of terrible slapbet we lost to deserve this—but we can’t imagine this is fair punishment.
